SEEKING:
Courtney/Anthony U/S- Young, poor, black. Scorpio. Divas include (but are not limited to) Whitney, Judy Garland, Diana Ross.

SYNOPSIS:
Courtney Berringers (given name: Anthony Knighton) would like to welcome you to her wake! She has recently died from complications due to AIDS, you see. And by recent, we mean 2019 in rural Georgia, baby! But--make no mistake--this isn't your grandma's funeral. There will be no black frocks, no perfumed flowers, and definitely no crying. Probably. Tonight is a celebration.
